Why everyone want to become a u.s citizen?

[zuluweta 250]

I chose citizenship (over staying a greencard holder) for several reasons:

- Desire to be able to vote

- Desire to "be done with it"; no more USCIS, ever, and it would be very difficult for them to kick me out now.

- Desire to be able to live where-ever I want, and return to the USA; while we have no plans to move back to Europe, I want that option to be open, especially once we retire. Being a US citizen means I won;t have to justify me being out of the country for more than 6 months, or fear loosing my greencard.

- Desire to have the same citizenship as my kids

All of the above for me, plus having a US passport will give me visa-free access to many more countries than my current passport. I love traveling to other countries with my spouse and it's debilitating not to be able to travel together to Europe, Mexico & Canada (pre-LPR).

If you have a us citizenship, then you will be able to visit many country without much of an issue, you will get visa of other country quite easily.

I have been asked this question many times by my family. It is quite simple for me, my kids are US citizens, my husband is a USC, this is where my whole life is and I can't think of anywhere else in the world I would rather live and die. No matter what happens, I will be proud to be a USC!! If my family can't come to terms with that or understand it, then that is their problem, their opinions will not make a difference in my decision, my husband and kids trump all
